They became part of the great mass driver which collapsed onto the first pancaked floor. This started the great chain reaction which led to the catastrophic failure of the structure. One floor collapses onto the one below that - that fails - the entire mass in turn falls onto the floor below. To the extent the upper floors may have started out intact - they would have ultimately been pulverized when they hit the ground - crushing themselves under the great force of falling.

I'm not sure I get your meaning, but the fact that the floors around the impact zone "weakened" isn't assumed - it's obvious.
The floors above supplied the enormous weight which finished them off - one floor at a time - all the way down to ground zero.

What about them.... look at the videos... the top part of the building fell intact crushing (pancaking) the lower floors...the top collapsed from the force of impact with the ground. What's the problem?

Do you believe that if the floors around the impact site collapsed, the floors above would have stayed put? There is this force called gravity.....

People still believe this conspiracy crap? If the floors on the bottom go, and a fire is throwing all sorts of heat upwards, what do you expect to happen to the top floors? If your answer is anything other than collapse, you are letting paranoia get in the way of logic and reason.

Have you ever built a house of cards?
if the integrity of the structure is compromised the whole building falls in on its self. that's what happened. you had a lot of structural damage and the sheer weight, gravity and basic physics took over.
Sell your conspiracies some where else, I took physics in College and I have something called logic and common sense, and I am not buying the crap your selling.

The main support beam of the entire building weakened and gave way causing the entire building to fall. Not news to anyone who actually paid attention at the time.

They were providing the load on the weaken floor tell where it was beyond what they can hold up.
You are a good democrat making stuff up.

Get a pile of building blocks, and build a simple tower.
Then start ripping blocks out of the middle of your tower, see what happens to the part above it.

Uh, they were connected to the one's below. Belief was suspended that day, but not science and gravity....
